PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA SNAKES AND LADDERS UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MENGHITUNG ( PENJUMLAHAN DAN PENGURANGAN ) DI KELAS 2 DI SDN 32 PANGGI KOTA BIMA

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Snakes and Ladders learning media to improve the calculation skills (addition and subtraction) of second-grade students at SDN 32 Panggi, Bima City. With the rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT), the education system needs to adapt to create a more interactive and enjoyable learning process. Observations at the school show that monotonous and less innovative teaching methods have a negative impact on students' understanding of mathematics. Therefore, this study uses the ADDIE development model which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The Snakes and Ladders media is expected to increase students' interest and motivation in learning mathematics. A trial was conducted on 28 students using a pre-test and post-test to measure the improvement of students' abilities. The analysis results show that the use of this media is effective in improving students' addition and subtraction skills, with an N-Gain value of 0.72, which indicates high benefits of the media. Teacher and student responses also show a very good level of practicality, which means that this media is easy to apply in the teaching and learning process. The conclusion of this study is that the Snakes and Ladders media can be an effective alternative for mathematics learning in elementary schools. Thus, integrating interactive media such as Snakes and Ladders into learning can help create a more engaging and effective learning experience, thereby improving the quality of education and student learning outcomes.
